Tips
Vinaigrette: Make your Own.
1) Most store bought vinaigrette are high in fat content because of all the oil, overpowering flavors, and lots of preservatives and artificial ingredients. Consider making your own vinaigrette at home. To me, the point of a dressing is to tie all the flavors together; not to overwhelm a meal or be the only flavor you taste. I always keep champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and a high-end olive oil at home to be able to whip up a vinaigrette last minute.
When making vinaigrette at home, I generally look for a flavor that will help tie everything together; in this case bright citrus like lemon, kumquat, or tangerine. I use a 2 parts acid (combination of vinegar and juice) to 1 part oil depending on how much I need, balance out with Dijon and honey and season as needed.
